Many college students choose those ten extra minutes of sweet, sweet sleep over breakfast before class. This is completely understandable. I, too, have fallen for the lure of sleep only to suffer through class day-dreaming about how to make vegetarian stir fry in 15 minutes when I should be thinking about Immanuel Kant. Don't neglect breakfast during your morning routine. Here are 6 quick dorm breakfasts that take under 7 minutes to make.

1. Scrambled Eggs in the Microwave

While making eggs in the microwave sounds incredibly sketchy, I tried it out myself and they tasted almost just as they do off the frying pan. At a prep time of three minutes, these microwaveable scrambled eggs are perfect for dorm life.

2. French Toast in the Microwave

Equally as strange as scrambled eggs, this microwavable french toast recipe will pleasantly surprise you. I made this quick dorm breakfast in about seven minutes. Feel free to add toppings of your choice.

3. Overnight Oats

I got the idea for these from my sister, who is also a college student. Just throw plain oatmeal, yogurt, milk and fruit in a cup and mix it around. After a night in the fridge, these healthy ingredients combine to make a quick and refreshing breakfast.

4. Instant Oatmeal with Fruit

5. Almonds

While this snack may come as a surprise appearance on a breakfast list, almonds are great for combating hunger as well as many other health benefits. They are loaded with protein and fiber, which serve to increase fullness. Pair these nuts with a whole fruit and you're good to go.

6. Belvita Banana Bread
